Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) Installations in Childcare Centres in Melbourne

What is a TMV (Thermostatic Mixing Valve)?

While similar to tempering valves (read more about them here), thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs) offer precise control over water temperature, often required in healthcare, aged care, and childcare facilities where a stricter temperature regulation is needed. TMVs are generally more sophisticated than tempering valves and can maintain consistent temperatures even with fluctuating water pressures or temperatures.

The Victorian Building Authority (VBA) states the below information on their website:

To prevent scalding, the Plumbing code of Australia (PCA) requires the delivery temperature of water used for personal hygiene purposes (primarily bathroom taps) to be limited to a prescribed temperature for a specific type of building, these are: 

• 45°C for early childhood centres, primary and secondary schools, and nursing homes or similar facilities for young, aged, sick, or disabled persons – In these situations, the water temperature must be controlled by a thermostatic mixing valve conforming with AS 4032.1, or thermostatically controlled tap conforming with AS 4032.4.
•  50°C for all other buildings.  – In these situations, either a tempering valve conforming with AS 4032.1, or a water heater designed not to exceed 50°C may be used to control the water temperature. In the case of a water heater, it must be marked “this appliance delivers water not exceeding 50°C in accordance with AS 3498”. 
•  Note that restricting the delivery temperature in kitchens and laundries is optional.
